Product Decisions This Supports

Build vs Buy: Choosing this package over custom pipeline implementation reduces technical debt and accelerates delivery, especially for teams prioritizing speed-to-market. The Apache-2.0 license ensures zero legal friction for commercial use.
Feature Development: Enables rapid iteration on complex workflows (e.g., payment processing, user onboarding) by allowing non-breaking changes to step sequences without refactoring core logic.
Roadmap Prioritization: Supports scaling product capabilities by decoupling business logic from infrastructure, making it easier to add features like A/B testing flows or compliance checks without disrupting existing systems.
Use Cases: Ideal for API middleware chains, data validation/transformations in ETL processes, or multi-step domain services (e.g., order fulfillment, content moderation) where sequential execution is critical.

When to Consider This Package

Adopt when:

Your application requires multiple sequential processing steps needing isolation and testability.
Workflow modifications are frequent (e.g., adding/removing validation rules), and you want to avoid monolithic code.
Your team values clean, decoupled architecture with minimal dependencies.

Look elsewhere if:

Processing logic is trivial (e.g., single-step transformations where a simple function suffices).
Parallel execution, complex state management, or distributed workflows are needed (e.g., use Camunda or Temporal for orchestration).
Your project is small-scale with no plans for evolving complexity or team growth.

For Executives: "This package accelerates feature delivery by enabling modular, reusable processing pipelines
